I recognize there are a lot of different ways to get good selections.  And the ones where I've seen this demonstrated use images with lots of blowing hair or fluffy kittens or whatever.  I don't have any blowing hair since I don't shoot people, but I tried it on raccoon kits, and it was middling useful.  So, I switched to this image, which should be easier for the tool since the edges are better. 


Maybe that's the problem?  'Cause it definitely doesn't do a very good job here.  Where I do the "refine edge" and try to use the tool, it keeps making areas that were already selected less consistent. 


I'll have to keep playing with it, but I've now read Martin Evenings book, and watched two different experts including Russell Brown proclaim this to be the be-all and end-all of getting perfect selections in difficult situations.  So far, my results haven't been as good as theirs, but I'll continue playing.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
